Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Juan Naveira has always been willing to answer concerns and resolve problems that arise, keeping in mind the client's interests.'
‘Empathy, commitment, professionalism, both from Juan Naveira and Jon Vicuña and the rest of the team.’
‘It is a very solid team, with a lot of technical knowledge and a good mix of very experienced people and younger ones. They are always coordinated with each other to provide the best service.’
‘Very proactive, commercial and knowledgeable about the region and the products. Top 3 law firm we work with in Latam.’
‘The STB team with which we work with some frequency is led by Juan Mendez, a professional with extensive experience, very detailed in analysis, and knowledge of many precedents that allow us to improve any proposal. He is always very willing to discuss to reach a point that satisfies all parties.’
‘They have one of the best teams in LATAM, they are constructive and have a lot of credibility with the banks. They know their business very well and are able to offer the best service.'
‘We primarily work with Juan Mendez and Kirsten Davis. They are hyper committed and communicative, and shine best when analysing complex regulatory questions which some of their competitors are less equipped to handle. They consistently prove to be thoughtful technicians, and are extremely reliable.’
‘Juan Mendez and Kirsten Davis are the "dream team" for any capital market transaction. Jomar Vargas (associate) is also excellent. The entire Simpson team is always available at any time and day. They have a very fast response time, even when there is a lot of documentation to write.’
